anyone here replace the window motors in our cars? my drivers is dead, window all way up. how should i get it to go down to relieve tension on the spring and go pickup a new motor?

you want it all the way up to change the motor.

basically hold it up with a C-clamp and you can pull it out

I've changed my driver side motor before....PITA

thanks alot i took care of it today

that quick? what'd you do?

poipped off the door panel and stuff and there werent any rivets the motor was previously replaced so it was just nuts/bolts and swapped'em

I always do it with the window in the half postion it relieves all of the tension on the spring.

spring wasn't a problem for me. i kept the window all way up and stuck a C clamp to lightly hold it up, then i drilled a holve overtop each of the bolts(stock are rivets) to hold the motor to the track, then just removed the motor through the speaker hole.
